Fashion wise the stars opted for Indian attire with many stars opting for white and gold outfits.

Choreographer Saroj Khan, who also attended the event, told the media about the baby shower saying, “I have never seen so many celebrity women together. All the women went up to Aishwarya and blessed her. Jayaji received each guest personally and was very warm. Even her daughter, Shweta, gave personal attention to everyone. There were a lot of songs and celebration.”
Husband Abhishek Bachchan, who wore a white and gold embroided kurta, thanked fans for their good wishes to his wife on the special day tweeting, “Good morning everyone. Thank you so much for all the wishes for Aishwarya on her Godh Bharai’. Read out some of your messages to her.”
